The state of California is suing auto manufacturers alleging that their perfectly legal product when used in perfectly legal ways caused global warming which in turn caused "significant harm to California’s environment, economy, agriculture and public health." The ultimate irony, California "has more vehicles than any other state." But I guess you can't sue your own taxpayers, so suing out of state companies just works better.
Note that this was a logical outcome of the myriad suits against gun manufacturers and tobacco companies for the consequences of their legal products.
